Alternative names:

Tyrosine-protein kinase Mer;Proto-oncogene c-Mer;Receptor tyrosine kinase MerTK

Description:

Recombinant human MERTK protein with C-terminal human Fc tag

Background:

This gene is a member of the MER/AXL/TYRO3 receptor kinase family and encodes a transmembrane protein with two fibronectin type-III domains, two Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains, and one tyrosine kinase domain. Mutations in this gene have been associated with disruption of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) phagocytosis pathway and onset of autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa (RP).

Molecular characterization:

MERTK(Ala21-Ile505) hFc(Glu99-Ala330)

Molecular weight:

The protein has a predicted molecular mass of 78.8 kDa after removal of the signal peptide. The apparent molecular mass of MERTK-hFc is approximately 100-130 kDa due to glycosylation.

Tag:

C-Human Fc Tag

Expression host:

HEK293

Target:

MERTK

Purity:

The purity of the protein is greater than 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE and Coomassie blue staining.

Formulation / Reconstitution:

Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4. Normally 5 % - 8% trehalose is added as protectants before lyophilization. Please see Certificate of Analysis for specific instructions of reconstitution.

Storage:

Store at -20°C to -80°C for 12 months in lyophilized form. After reconstitution, if not intended for use within a month, aliquot and store at -80°C (Avoid repeated freezing and thawing). Lyophilized proteins are shipped at ambient temperature.
